The Meaning of Home

The Meaning Of Home Home is not just a roof over your head and a place to eat. Think of it as a place where you’re in your comfort zone. My favourite activity is done in my own home, lego’s. And especially now, sitting alone on the street can be really dangerous, because of the Covid 19 pandemic. In winter, living on the street, and this is all you have with you: a blanket and a mattress, you could catch frostbite, or worse, you could freeze to death if you don’t have a very warm blanket to keep you cozy. Freezing to death on the street is exactly what you DON’T want to happen to you. Home is a place where you can be assured completely that you are safe, comfortable and very happy. Another note, if you are living on the street, then now you might not have a computer to work on for online school, which we are doing because of the current pandemic. All people’s homes are different. Some people have tiny bungalows, some have massive palaces, but they all have one common charm. They are our happy place where we are safe and content. But, no matter how big or how small, in terms of people OR homes, everyone should have the right to live in a home of their own, and be as safe and happy as I am in my own home.
